Trim your shrubs, hedges and trees in time for spring, but remember the early bird gets the nest!
Nesting season is just starting, so grab the last chance to get trimming, but be mindful of disturbing active bird nests. The main breeding season for nesting birds usually runs throughout March to August, so you should think now about trimming any vegetation which may be blocking public footways and footpaths, in time for spring.
You can put any cut back vegetation in your garden waste bin if you have signed up to North Herts Council subscription service or take it to one of the county’s 16 recycling centres.
By playing your part and cutting back your overhanging vegetation you help your neighbours stay safe, allowing pavement users to travel without difficulty on the paths and avoiding being forced onto the road where they could be at risk. Let’s keep Kimpton safe and tidy!
